'Not A Crime' campaign gaining momentum

It has been just over a week since the BJP launched the ‘Not A Crime’ campaign and already there are over 500 supporters. 137 photographs have been posted with the BJP’s proposed banners, showing there is a genuine concern for the welfare of photography in the UK.

One of the BJP’s own reporters felt the wrath of heritage security in Trafalgar Square when she popped down to take a photo with the office’s ‘I am not a terrorist’ sign. After taking two photographs, she was stopped and asked to explain her motives behind the photograph.

A number of blog-sites have also mentioned and supported the campaign. The BJP wishes to thank the following: talkphotography.co.uk, markwilson.co.uk, photopix.co.uk, indymedia.org and gsnowdon.com.

An article of note was mentioned on the BJP’s Flickr group, discussing the ‘war’ on photography. It’s a good read and has a link to a site where you can download a copy of UK photographers rights guide, version 2.

Don’t forget to check out commercial photographer, Spike Brown, on Sunday 02 August at 10pm, who will be supporting the campaign on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square.
